Ji*******:

4:20 that building which you said "people freak out because they look like smoking cigarette", that's not why people dislike it. People dislike it because it looks like a incense which Chinese use to worship the dead. We really really really don't like anything related to death (in fact we don't have 4th floor because four sounded like "dead" in Cantonese. We skip the 4th floor and name it "5th floor", so does 14th,24th,34th... and so on)

Je*******:

Maybe the most beautiful buildings and skylines I've ever seen. 0:21

Fa*********:

1:28 Oh yes, I saw this documentary before, many times!!!

se*****:

2:58 If only one guy died around this building, then maybe it's better to ignore these rules

Wo************:

5:00 That small beige building near the bottom of the screen...
(Look a little to the left from the center of the screen near the bottom)
Is that a cannon too?!

nx***:

That intro music was fire

Be******:

Guess why Hong Kong's economy is pretty good

Va********:

Guess I'll have to go to Hong Kong just to take a selfie with a dragon

Ma**********:

Imagine walking and just seeing a dragon stuck in one of those holes

al**********:

I love this series, it is so simple and at the same time so beautiful.
Love the music and the Videography, and I learn so much about other Countries and there Culture.
Thank you Vox and thank you Johnny!

gi*************:

This is like BuzzFeed for smart people

Re*******:

风水 You made me laugh when you say Feng Shui

Ol*********:

When you started talking about dragons, I thought you were joking. This was fascinating

Bo******:

Can't the dragons just fly over the buildings?!

Co*****:

Short answer: Invisible dragons go through the buildings to go into the water for some splashy splashy

Si****:

Everybody gangsta ‘til the cannons actually shoot.

HE***********:

Ta********:

A bank has cannons literally pointing at a competitors bank lol

Ma*******:

As a Hongkonger I can tell you, rather than Feng Shui, the better ventilation provided so as to reduce the heat island effect, lower the temperature and improve air quality, is the bigger reason why these holes are designed

Th**********:

Ok, "dragons" in Chinese Feng Shui don't necessary mean the actual creatures. It's actually just a metaphor of the flow of "luck". When they say the "dragons" come from mountain to water, that's saying the "luck" goes from mountains to water. Though Feng Shui is really just bunch of superstitions, but a part of it coincides with actual science. Water has always been the symbol of luck, and if you look at history, almost all port cities or financial major cities today are close by water. So water is certainly an economical device for generating fortune. Also, when things go from high place to flow (mountains to water), the momentum energy is also deemed as going to a low momentum energy. Both physics and chemistry agree that substance like to "settle" at low momentum energy. I know it's far fetched, but at least that's how people look at it.

sh****:

Interesting how some beliefs and practices are called "religion" and others called "superstition"...

Ra*:

Its amazing what culture does to influence architecture. Every place is unique and I love that.

ja********:

its actually because of the buildings in hong kong are so high, the buildings sometimes have a hole in them so that the air can be ventilated instead of being trapped in an area, making the city even hotter. but i guess feng shui plays a small part too.

Jt**:

How do I become a million dollar feng shui consultant?

sh************:

airplane: im going to do what they call a pro gamer move

Ae***:

I go to Hong Kong every four years. I’ve had the most incredible experiences there.

Be********:

Here in Hong Kong, there are entire floors that are completely empty in commercial buildings that are for “fire safety”, but it’s mostly because of feng shui. I’d also like to point out that it’s not the triangles that “cut the chi”, it’s the fact that the entire building looks like a frickin’ box cutter, which is why there’s a huge beautiful garden at the bottom to compensate. Also the pool has nothing to do with the building looking like a cigarette.

K*:

This is by far my favorite series. I am constantly fascinated with your stories. Keep up the great reporting.

ma*********:

I really like skyscrapers like this. It got something aesthetic

Edit also you can fly with drones trough it

Ch*****:

Right next door is the Communist Bank of Red China

lol the propaganda back then when communism was a thing.

Co******:

I love this, keep it up!

RA*******:

"Who stabbed this man!?" .... "The evil building did it."

MI**:

So airplanes could go through it instead of hitting it

an*******:

OMG, the HSBC building does have "cannons" on top of the building! I always jokingly thought that, but did not realize that was the true intent. Does anyone know if this "cannon" design is true for buildings in Shanghai as well?

Pa*************:

And I thought it was some kind of a serious architectural reason, like the wind passing through or something...

An*************:

Really fascinating, I learn new things with each episode. Keep up the good work Vox!

JC*:

Fun fact: On Hong Kong Island, not a single hotel has its main entrance facing the harbour for the same reason: feng shui. The idea is that having your doors facing the harbour would mean that the qi/good fortune flow out (into the water). So even though the harbour offers a terrific view and many would think is a natural orientation for a hotel lobby, you would not find a hotel that has its entrance facing Victoria Harbour. This doesn't apply to Kowloon though, and I'm not sure of the reason why.

Ho********:

This explanation is amusing but not very accurate. I work in an engineering consultant in Hong Kong. For skyscraper projects like these (residential or commercial), there’re a whole lot of requirements in design for architects and engineers to follow.
E.g. a vacant, unoccupied level has to be inserted in the middle of the building for the sake of fire insulation as stated in the buildings ordinance (this explains why there’s a gap floor in some skyscrapers);
the ratio of “green roof top garden area” for the public to sellable floor area has to meet a certain value as stated on the land lease (this is why there’s a hole for greens in some skyscrapers);
For buildings above certain heights or density, the design has to be adjusted to ensure ventilation/air circulation in the city is not disrupted, so as to prevent heat island effect (a good way to do this is to leave a “hole” in the buidling)
The explanation about Fengshui is not entirely wrong, but its much more complicated than that, huh

Br**********:

I'm from Hong Kong and liking how this series bringing some attention to the smaller but still interesting details of the city. The feng shui aspect is definitely quite unique to the city in how much mainstream acceptance it has (not just in building but in misc aspects like naming your kids, interior design etc). One suggestion though: I recommend taking a page from late Anthony Bourdain and try to interview some locals and hear it from their perspectives even if it results in the same point. Otherwise it could sound a little un-authentic and judgy from a foreigner.
